Safety Smarts

Marshall and I took the kids to Rocky Reach Dam today for Safety Smarts!

Granpi Roger met up with and the learning (fun!) started.

Our first stop was the Wenatchee Humane Society.

Rolli and Vivian said "hi" to a few kittens and dogs.

Then Vivian picked out this little puppy nose for her loot bag.

Of course Rolli had to stop at the "ROCK!"

We watched the "on duty weed mowing goats".

The Dam's organic method.

Next stop was the fire department!

Cool engine, too bad the kids didn't want to play in it.

The Fire Safety House!

It's never too early to teach your children about fire safety and escape plans.

Rolli and Vivian where brave little obedient kids.

They followed me right into the mini house and played along well.

Rolli and Vivian listening to the firefighter teach us about "staying low" in case of a fire.

Everyone on the floor where the clean air is!

The fake smoke was coming in the room and the smoke detector was going off.

Only one little girl panicked.

"Stay calm, think clearly, act decisively."

All the kids even climbed out the window and down the ladder to the firefighters.

I'd say it was a successful first EDITH house course for Rolli and Vivian.

Grandpa Rollin will be proud ;)

Granpi and Rolli watching the linemen talk about power line safety.

Vivian and Mommy listening to the important safety rules about power lines.

Vivian and Rolli in the bypass pipe.

Here they are meeting Ricky.

Ricky is this remote controlled robot demonstrating bike safety.

Ricky was way cool!

At the Sheriff's booth Rolli and Vivian tried on life jackets and got in the "big boat".

Daddy taking the kids on a canoe ride.

I think they were supposed to be learning about water craft safety.

Rolli saying "hi" to Chase, the bear and cougar dog.

Remember to be "Bear Aware".

"Whoa!  A cougar!"

Rolli with Smokey Bear sans the costume.

Because of the heat we missed Smokey by about a half hour.

Those bear suites can be HOT!

Next time Smokey, next time.

Here's to a safe weekend!
